Thanks so much for this Kerryn. I hadn’t realised that Stanley died in WW1 also. I’ve only done patchy research on this branch. I’d love the photo of the grave to add. I appreciate you letting me know. I will try to get more info on Stanley and add it onto the site.
So many men lost to the futility of war, a lost generation. A great piece of research Jennifer and how wonderful that you have pictures of two of the men. By recording their stories their sacrifice and memories will live on.
Ernest also had another nephew who died, Private Lance Corporal Stanley Waters, the son of Ernest's older brother David. Stanley died at Gallipoli on 8 May 1915 during the charge of Cape Helles. He enlisted and died at the age of 20.
I also have a photograph of the grave of David Waters if you would like to add it to your file. I visited it in 2015, an emotional day.
